Chapter 385

In the central capital, in the northern city area, at the Tongtian Inn.

Yang Kai was wearing a set of cyan strong clothes, with his hands behind his back, striding forward with his head held high.

The slightly obese shopkeeper’s eyes lit up, and he immediately greeted with a smiling face and asked respectfully： “Is this young master here to stay at the inn or have a meal？”

Yang Kai had an extraordinary appearance and came riding a Cloud-Treading Colt. The shopkeeper had seen countless people, and with his sharp eyes, he naturally knew that Yang Kai had a high background and didn’t dare to be negligent in any way.

“Looking for someone！” Yang Kai’s expression was indifferent as he placed that section of green bamboo on the table.

Seeing the green bamboo, the shopkeeper’s complexion immediately became extremely solemn. He quickly ran out from behind the counter and said in a low voice, “Young master, please come with me.”

Yang Kai put away the token, nodded slightly, and followed the shopkeeper with a calm expression.

Although the Tongtian Inn also does some business, that is just a cover on the surface. The real face of the Tongtian Inn is actually the lair of the Zhujie Gang.

In the Central Capital, there are not only the eight great families！

There are also countless forces hidden in the dark that can’t get on the stage. These forces of all sizes are all supported by the people of the eight great families behind the scenes. They are mainly responsible for some things that the eight great families are not convenient to come forward. And the Zhujie Gang is just one of them. Compared with other forces, the Zhujie Gang is relatively small.

Passing through the entire Tongtian Inn, they came to a huge courtyard. In the courtyard, many martial artists were competing in martial arts skills, either in singles or in groups of three or five, fighting vividly.

Yang Kai took a secret look and found that the strength of the people here was indeed not high. At most, it was only the peak level of the True Yuan Realm. Most of them were around the Lihe Realm, and there were even some in the Qidong Realm.

In the Central Capital City, better martial artists were generally taken in by the eight great families. Naturally, the rest were somewhat uneven.

Yang Kai didn’t care either. However, those martial artists who were fighting, seeing the fat shopkeeper leading Yang Kai in, all looked over here in surprise and commented on him.

Passing through that huge courtyard, the two came to a great hall.

In front of the palace gate, there were some very fierce-looking warriors, vigilantly looking around. After the two of them appeared, they all cast their gazes over in unison.

Stopping in his tracks, the fat shopkeeper cupped his fists towards several people and said with a smile, “Fourth Master has sent someone. Please go and report to the master.”

One of those warriors sized up Yang Kai from top to bottom, and couldn’t help but frown slightly, asking suspiciously, “Why does he look so unfamiliar? Is he really Fourth Master’s man?”

The fat shopkeeper nodded repeatedly： “Naturally. He has Fourth Master’s token.”

Only then did that person nod： “Wait a moment.”

Saying that, he turned around and walked in. Not long after, that person walked back and said to Yang Kai, “The leader said to let you go to the side hall to rest first. He will come over after discussing the matter.

Yang Kai frowned. He didn’t expect to be turned away.

This is rather interesting.

Inside the main hall, it seemed that there was some kind of quarrel going on, and the voices of several people were constantly coming out.

Yang Kai released his spiritual consciousness, not only instantly seeing through the cultivation bases of those people in the hall, but also hearing some things.

His expression gradually turned cold, and he couldn’t help but snort softly.

This young master, why don’t you go to the side hall and wait for a while? The fat shopkeeper suggested with caution.

“No need. I’ll go in myself！” Yang Kai shook his head and stepped towards the inside.

“Sir, please wait！” The warrior who had gone in to report earlier quickly blocked Yang Kai’s way. Before his voice had even fallen, his body suddenly flew out, and a burst of scorching true essence erupted from his body in mid-air, rampaging through his meridians. Before he even landed, he directly passed out.

With a few dull thuds, the several warriors guarding in front of the great hall all fell to the ground in an instant. Before the fat shopkeeper could even react, Yang Kai had already arrived in front of the door.

With a creak, the tightly closed door opened wide, and Yang Kai slowly walked in from the outside.

There were probably about a dozen warriors sitting here, gathered around a table more than ten zhang long. Each of them had a gloomy expression, their faces red and their necks thick, as if they had just had a rather argument. The true essence in their bodies was even showing signs of churning.

Yang Kai’s gaze turned slightly and fixed on the person at the very top.

This person had a gentle and refined appearance, a tall and slender figure, and was dressed in a rather scholarly style. Moreover, he also had the temperament of a mature man and looked quite charming. However, at this moment, there was a hint of faint worry and helplessness between his brows.

The leader of the Bamboo Knot Gang, Pang Chi！

It was very difficult to associate his imposing name with his own refined temperament.

The sound of Yang Kai pushing the door naturally alarmed them. The moment Yang Kai walked in, the fierce quarrel stopped abruptly. Everyone turned their heads in surprise and suspicion, and several people frowned imperceptibly, looking displeased.

But more of them were in awe. Anyway, Yang Kai was now considered a person sent by Yang Yingfeng, and his identity was here.

Pang Chi quickly got up, waved away the fat shopkeeper who followed in, and put on a forced smile on his face. He cupped his fists from a distance and said seriously, “May I ask your honorable name？”

“The Yang family, Yang Kai！”

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn’t help but change their complexions in horror！

They originally thought that the person Yang Yingfeng sent this time was at most one of his subordinates. In the past, the connection between the Zhujie Gang and Yang Yingfeng was also handled by the people under Fourth Master Yang.

But once Yang Kai’s name was reported, they realized that the situation was different from what they thought.

This young man was obviously a direct descendant of the Yang family who had just returned to the Yang family shortly.

I’m afraid it’s the one under the knee of Fourth Master Yang.

Realizing the dignity and extraordinariness of Yang Kai’s identity, with a crash, everyone stood up. Pang Chi even walked quickly down from above and said respectfully, “Pang Chi didn’t know that the young master was coming and failed to welcome you from afar. Please forgive me, young master!

“Please forgive me, young master！” Everyone shouted in unison.

“It’s okay！” Yang Kai faintly waved his hand, showing no sign of caring.

Only then did Pang Chi heave a sigh of relief. He didn’t know the depth before and actually asked Yang Kai to go to the side hall to rest and wait for him. If this young master really blamed him, he might not see the sun tomorrow.

For a moment, cold sweat oozed out from Pang Chi’s back, and he couldn’t help but secretly rejoice.

“Please take a seat, young master！” Pang Chi quickly greeted.

Yang Kai wasn’t polite either. He directly walked to the top position and sat down boldly. Pang Chi laughed dryly and stood aside with his head bowed, feeling that his lips were a little bitter. The others were the same. They all stood still in place, feeling uneasy in their hearts.

They had never come into contact with the direct descendants of the Yang family before, so naturally they had some psychological pressure at this moment. Moreover, they didn’t know what purpose Yang Kai had for coming this time.

Remembering the quarrel just now, several of them couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat on their foreheads and felt uneasy in their hearts.

Yang Kai casually picked up a fragrant fruit on the table, leaned back in the chair, put his two big feet on the table, and assumed a comfortable posture to eat.

Discovering that he was so impolite and behaved no differently from a little hooligan, the expressions of everyone present relaxed, and they were no longer as nervous as before.

Their backgrounds were all very low. Seeing Yang Kai so lazy, they naturally eliminated the nervousness invisibly.

“Tastes good.” Yang Kai took a few bites and then casually threw the fragrant fruit onto the table. Looking up, he said, “Sit down.”

A group of people looked at Pang Chi, and the latter nodded slightly. Only then did the crowd take their seats.

Youdaoplaceholder0 lightly twice, Pang Chi cautiously asked, “I wonder if Young Master’s visit to the Bamboo Joint Gang this time is because Fourth Master has any instructions to convey?

“No.” Yang Kai shook his head. “Just came over to play around. You don’t have to bother with me. It seems you were discussing something important just now. Continue, and I’ll listen too！”

After speaking, he smiled and swept his gaze around the crowd.

The people sitting there couldn’t help but change their expressions slightly, bowing their heads in unison and remaining silent.

Pang Chi forced a smile and said, “Actually, they are all just trivial matters. Young Master might get bored listening.”

“It’s okay. Speak.” Yang Kai indicated that he didn’t mind.

Pang Chi’s face turned bitter. He really didn’t expect this Young Master Yang from the Yang family to be so difficult to deal with.

Yang Kai sat up straight and smiled again. “I just heard someone outside the hall mention something about the Huo family… What happened to the Huo family? Tell me. I’ve been away from Zhongdu for so many years and my information is not. I’m very interested in the affairs of the Huo family!

The crowd all changed their expressions, looking horrified and frightened.

“Don’t dare to speak anymore？” Yang Kai shouted lightly, and his gaze suddenly turned cold and sharp.

“Young Master, the thing is actually like this.” Pang Chi quickly spoke up. He knew that if he didn’t speak up, it would be over. This Young Master Yang had clearly heard some words just now, so he was being so overbearing.

Before Pang Chi could finish speaking, Yang Kai had already taken action. A surge of true essence was violently activated, and a large number of blood-red petals suddenly flew in the great hall. Those sharp petals carried a cold killing intent and swept towards the four people present in a overwhelming manner.

Three of them didn’t have time to react and were pierced by the Thousand Petals Blood Begonia, leaving countless invisible transparent wounds on their bodies. They didn’t even utter a sound and directly lost their lives.

Only a powerhouse at the first level of the Divine Movement Realm managed to hastily counterattack and escape the disaster. But as soon as he stood up from the chair, a crimson sword qi like a streak of lightning attacked him.

Boom… With a loud sound, true essence suddenly raged and energy became chaotic in the entire great hall.

That person took a sword qi and his face instantly turned pale. Obviously, he had been injured. Sensing Yang Kai’s terror and unreasonableness, how could he dare to stay any longer? He hurriedly flew towards the outside of the hall.

Before reaching the door of the hall, countless petals arrived first. They were layer upon layer, blocking in front of him. The next moment, like ten thousand arrows shooting together, the Thousand Petals Blood Begonia attacked violently.

The face of this person changed again, and he hurriedly fled backwards.

A purple light exploded in mid-air. The man’s expression froze, and an extremely intense pain came from his shihai. Just like that, with his back facing Yang Kai, he directly crashed into it.

Yang Kai stood there, holding the Crimson Blood Sword in his hand, motionless.

Pfft…

That person actually directly crashed into the Crimson Blood Sword, and his entire body was pierced through like a thin piece of paper.

The Crimson Blood Sword was slowly withdrawn, bringing out one spray after another of warm blood. The martial artist at the Divine Movement Realm Layer 1 soft fell to the ground and couldn’t get up.

Youdaoplaceholder0 around at the remaining people, Yang Kai sullen and said coldly, “The gathering of the Huo Family? I’m afraid you have the money to take but no life to spend!

The fierce shout rang in their ears, and everyone’s complexion changed drastically.

Pang Chi even looked at Yang Kai in horror and with fear, a pair of eyeballs trembling violently and a burst of cold wind sweeps through his spine.
